Default Gen. Shali Dies At 75

SEATTLE (AP) — Retired Army Gen. John Shalikashvili, the first foreign-born chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who counseled President Bill Clinton on the use of troops in Bosnia and other trouble spots, has died, the Army said in a statement. He was 75.

Shalikashvili died Saturday morning at Madigan Army Medical Center in Washington state following complications from a stroke suffered on August 2004 that paralyzed his left side.

RIP.

Nice guy with an interesting life story. I went to jump school with his kid, he came to our graduation and we had lunch back when he was a one star.
